I only suspect it will get better, but my conviction is such that I've stashed a few bottles away. Did you say cheaper in Ontario for these? I look forward to another tasting soon, cheers!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-4920244864062250892009-12-08T23:28:29.752-05:002009-12-08T23:28:29.752-05:00Edward, you have a good memory!

It has just celebrated our 10th wine event - I never realized we staged all these opportunities for you to post. Intrepid wine journalist you are.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to facebook - it is a fan page on facebook, not a profile page, so your readers should know that the content I put there is viewable to the world (no sign-in required) and not just facebook members, though members interact with some of its feature more robustly shall we say.<br /><br />I noted some austerity for the Canadian - may not be the wisest use of the word on my part. I agree with your assessment that it will age and it will get brighter with time, and the fruit and tannin integration will get rounder and more giving.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-80400964007048406632009-12-08T01:41:59.475-05:002009-12-08T01:41:59.475-05:00Ya, I've had the TL you did - it's really ...Ya, I've had the TL you did - it's really quite disappointing.Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111980039963661949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-16526750007424761472009-12-07T23:49:23.576-05:002009-12-07T23:49:23.576-05:00Hi Shea - I was very surprised, very very very sur...Hi Shea - I was very surprised, very very very surprised. I bought a few more for the cellar because I think it might get better. Love the Tardieu Laurent, but I was VERY disappointed with the latest 2007 version of this. <br /><br />Ed - you have to wait for April Fool's to see the Yellow Tail - patience!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-22313116541057036342009-12-02T08:37:39.266-05:002009-12-02T08:37:39.266-05:00But where was the Yellow Tail. . .
